 Thank you very much for your patch. I'll apply it after the end of
 pkgsrc freeze.

 Well... ryoon@, can you remember why you patched lang/gcc46 so that
 flag_stack_protect gets initialized with -1 not 0? -fstack-protector
 will be effectively enabled by default then, and this is causing a
 bootstrapping problem on platforms whose libc does not natively
 provide functions for ssp. (I'm CC-ing him.)
